Five Years. I’ve been doing this for five years, the majority of it five days a week (more accurately, five nights a week). In that space of time I’ve worked for 3 companies, lived in 3 abodes, gotten married, moved to the state of Washington, and had a baby. But actually when I think about the greater hobby of writing, I’ve been doing that for most of my life. I’ve been journaling, writing letters (more email now), and generally messing around with words for a really long time. And that’s why when I looked back for a definitive weblog posting to feature today, I picked out this one that weaves together typewriters and Internet nostalgia (the links are all broken now but the sentiments stand). My parents brought me that manual typewriter recently and it’s on our dining room table. If the power ever cuts out, I can still keep tapping away, provided I don’t run out of ink and paper. As always, thanks for reading.
